1 자기 효능감과 실제 수행 간의 불일치
It ____ not uncommon for children to report overconfidence about accomplishing difficult tasks.
Even when they are given feedback indicating that ____ have performed poorly, their self-efficacy may not decline.
The incongruence between children’s self-efficacy and their actual performance can arise when children lack task familiarity and do not fully understand what is required to execute ____ task successfully.
As they gain ____ their accuracy improves.
Children may also be excessively swayed by certain task features and decide based on ____ that they can or cannot perform the task.
In subtraction, for example, children may focus on how many numbers or columns the problems contain and judge problems with fewer columns as less difficult than those with ____ columns, even when the former are conceptually more difficult.
This is an instance where higher self-efficacy is problematic because students ____ unrealistically overconfident and not motivated to seek help and improve their skills.
As children’s capability to focus ____ multiple features improves, so does their accuracy.
2 채용 과정에서 생성형 AI의 활용과 그 한계
Using generative AI in the hiring process ____ has its challenges and limitations.
____ AI may, for instance, produce inaccurate or misleading content that could harm the reputation or credibility of recruiters or candidates.
It may also raise ethical or legal issues regarding data ____ consent, or ownership.
Thus, complete automation seems unlikely in the current field as ____ managers, legal departments, etc., still have to review and sign off on generated job ads and candidate communication.
Therefore, generative ____ should not replace human judgment or interaction in hiring but rather complement it.
Generative AI should be used as a tool to ____ human capabilities and creativity, not to automate them entirely.
Recruiters should always verify the information and edit the content generated by ____ AI before using it.
They have to monitor the performance and impact of generative AI on their hiring outcomes ____ candidate experience.
3 기다림의 교육적 역할
Having asked the class a question, the average American teacher typically waits less than a ____ before picking a child to provide an answer — sending out a strong message that speed is valued over complex thinking.
But a study ____ the University of Florida has found that something magical happens when the teacher takes a little more time — just three seconds — to wait to pick a child, and then for the child to think about the response.
The most immediate benefit was ____ in the length of the children’s answers.
The small amount of thinking time meant that the children spent between three and seven times as long elaborating ____ thoughts, including more evidence for their viewpoint and a greater consideration of alternative theories.
The increased waiting time also encouraged ____ children to listen to each other’s opinions and develop their ideas.
Encouragingly, their more sophisticated thinking also translated to ____ writing, which became more nuanced and complex.
That’s an ____ improvement from the simple act of exercising teacherly patience.
As the researcher Mary Budd Rowe put it in her original paper: ‘slowing down may be a way of ____ up’.
4 광물 자원 원천 탐사의 한계
There is little hope of finding high grade sources of minerals other than those ____ know already.
The planet’s crust has been thoroughly explored and digging deeper is not likely to help, since ores form ____ because of hydrothermal processes that operate near the surface.
The oceanic floor ____ geologically too recent for containing ores; only the sea floor near the continents could be a useful source of minerals.
The oceans ____ contain metal ions, but extracting rare metals from seawater is out of the question because of their minute concentrations that make the process highly expensive in energy terms.
In addition, the amounts dissolved are not very ____
For instance, considering the ____ of copper in the oceans we can calculate that the total amount dissolved corresponds to 10 years of the present mine production.
Some suggest outer space as a source of minerals but the energy cost of leaving earth is ____ major barrier.
____ most bodies of the solar systems — e.g., the Moon and the asteroids — are geochemically “dead” and contain no ores.
5 생물학적 문제에 대한 기술적 해결책 적용
When we apply a simple technological solution to a problem that is actually nested within ____ complex biological system, we cannot easily predict how the system will adapt to the technology.
In fact, if we don’t understand how the “problem” is linked to or supported by the ecosystem, then we are defining the ____ in human terms without understanding its biological or ecological foundation.
____ example, we have used synthetic pesticides to control unwanted insect pests in agriculture since the late 1940s.
Each and every pesticide ____ has been in common and widespread use has resulted in the evolution of resistant pest species, and this has resulted in a constant search for replacement pesticides as a countermeasure.
This back and forth battle to control a biological problem with a technological solution has ____ ending point and is the result of an unwillingness on the human side to recognize the underlying issue.
6 정신의학의 복잡성
Psychiatry ____ often viewed as medicine’s ‘poor cousin’, and there are good reasons for this.
During the past century, our understanding of bodily mechanisms has advanced through scientific understanding on a whole number of different fronts and led to important new drug treatments in areas as diverse as cardiology, cancer therapy, and treatment of bacterial and infectious ____
However, our understanding of how the ____ brain works as a whole still remains far from clear, and as a consequence, drug treatments for mental disorders have often been far from inspiring,
with even the mechanisms of action of those drugs that do seem to have ____ positive impact on mental health remaining obscure.
This lack of clarity is due to ____ brain being so much more complex than any other organ in the body,
but it also reflects ____ fact that human conscious awareness is as much a social as a biological entity, and therefore human mental disorders have a major social input.
